EDITORS COMMENTS
Fashions in the Palais-Royal Gardens, 1837: A Stroll through French Society and Culture This handcoloured lithograph, entitled 'Fashions in the Palais-Royal Gardens, 1837,' offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of Parisian high society during the Bourbon Restoration. The image, created by the skilled hand of R.V., after an illustration by Francois Courboin, was originally published in Octave Uzanne's influential book 'Fashion in Paris.' The scene unfolds in the picturesque Jardin du Palais-Royal, where rows of trees provide a serene backdrop for the fashionable couple. The woman, elegantly dressed in a wide skirt and a fur-trimmed pardessus coat, accessorizes her ensemble with a luxurious muff and a large bonnet adorned with ribbons. Her companion, a man in a paletot coat and top hat, completes the fashionable duo. The Palais-Royal Gardens, a popular destination for Parisians and visitors alike, served as a symbol of the July Monarchy's cultural and aesthetic values. King Louis Philippe, who ruled from 1830 to 1848, encouraged the arts and fostered an environment that embraced the latest fashion trends. As the couple takes a leisurely stroll along the garden path, they embody the elegance and refinement of the era. Their presence on the bench, surrounded by the lush greenery, invites us to imagine the lively conversations and social interactions that once took place in this historic setting. This beautiful and intricately detailed lithograph not only showcases the fashionable attire of the time but also offers a glimpse into the rich cultural and historical context of 19th-century Parisian society.
